Available stencils wouldn't stick to irregular surfac es. Paint ran, causing ragged let- J ters. Preparation was tedious and time consuming. Someone suggested decals. So a commercial firm in the Piedmont was consulted. Yes, they had de cals, splesdid ones—-at $6 a copy, That idea was abandoned.

FREEZING PIES AND MIX By: Wanda Tipton, Home Economist for FroncA Broad Btoctrtc Membership Corp.

Fruit pies may be frozen either! before or after baking. Ciost is) more tender and flaky and flavor fresher when Pies are frozen before baking. Use paper or aluminum foil plates made for baking, or rustproof metal pie plates if available.

When freezing baked pies, prepare as usual and cool before wrapping. Wrap pie in moisture vapor proof material and seal.
